The ancient Olmec civilization predates the Azetcs and the Mayans. The Olmecs had many gods, and their religious beliefs may have influenced the Aztecs and Mayans. We don't know a lot about them - much of what you'll find is speculation, but from their carvings we know they considered many animals important. The jaguar was often depicted, and therefore likely was important to them religiously. It may have been their main god, and is often shown in one of three ways: as a jaguar, as a human baby with a jaguar head, or as a snake with a jaguar head.
